- 111.11. his c lll hief strength may turn out to be his greatest weakness. These countries are at present safe from violence or turbulent change, unless, indeed, the Tories come into power again, and take away from the rational friends of freedom all hope of peaceably obtaining the fruits of the Reform Bill. We live in times in which no man can answer for the morrow, unless the reins of power be left in hands who equally de sire the liberty of the people with the honour and safety of the throne. The next Session will be one of the utmost consequence to Ireland. The present Administration are pledged to bring forward three measures of the most vital importance to the Irish people :- Ist—The Tithe Bill. 2d—The Corporate Reform. 3d—A Poor Law. Upon these subjects I will, as soon as I possibly can, emi tult with you in person. In the mean time you know my opinions on the first. I am, you know, convinced that the tithes in Ireland must be totally abolished—and for this pur pose I will accept of any reasonable instalment in the first instance ; but, after all that has occurred, I insist on 49/.los. per cent. in the next Session. Less than that cannot give any satisfaction. Let it be recollected that as existing interests are in tended by most persons to be respected, the 57/. 10s. per cent. which will remain, would, in part, be necessary for those existing interests. Recollect again, I pray you, that the finding a substitute for the 57/. 10s. per cent, will be much less difficult than the finding one for the entire 1001. I need not add that if I saw, or shall see, in the next session, the smallest rational hope of obtaining the total abolition of tithes, I will abandon every other plan to adopt that. I consent to take a part only, because I cannot get the whole, and thus common sense tells me that a part is better than none. As to the Corporation reform, I have already told you the course I intended to pursue ; that is, to obtain as much of that reform for Ireland as possible—and then to 'Armed, without any delay, to look for the rest. The poor law for Ireland is another, and, perhaps, the most important question : and I do not hesitate to say that I will give my support to the Government upon the general princi ples of that Bill. I should oppose any private individual who (as so many have done) obtruded his own crude notions on the subject. I deem it quite right that this experiment should be made, as part of the great trial, whether we can avoid recurring again to " the Repeal ; " for without " the Repeal," you must have a poor law. But although I now see the inevitable necessity of acce ding to a poor-law, let me not be misunderstood as being at all sanguine as to any beneficial results. It is, in the first place, quite clear that no poor-law Bill will pass the House of Lords, unless the management of the relief is placed in the hands of the great landlords. The present House of Lords will certainly not (rive us a better poonlaw Bill in this respect than the English law—and the aristocratic tendency of that Bill is manifest. There has been a cry raised on this subject in Ireland, which renders it still more necessary that a Poor-law Bill should pass. But I very much doubt of any practical re lief from such Bill. A poor-law takes away a great deal f.om the pauper, and seldom gives him any adequate com pensation. How few of our Irish declaimers on poor-laws are aware of what such a law deprives the pauper, or of its fatal effects on wages. But Lord Morpeth is pledged upon this subject, anti we must have a poor-law. I will watch its details, with a view to render them as little one rous upon the poor-rate payers, and as extensively useful, as I possibly can. But alas, the poor-law is an experi ment, which, in my humble and anxious judgment, will pro bably fail, and then those who have so long clamoured for a poor-law, will find that they have got, instead of a fish, a s erpent—better suited to bite than to fatten or feed others. Upon the whole, however, my excellent friends, I see no one reason to despair or even to despond ; on the contrary, my hopes arc high for Ireland. The Ministers of the King are with us ; the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland is with us ; a powerful minority in England are inclined in our fa vour ; a large majority in Scotland are anxiously with us ; and we ourselves, Irishmen, are combining with more energy and discretion united than we ever before beheld. Nen of rank and of fortune are mingling honestly and zea lously with the most patriotic classes in the cause of Ire land. The honest Reformers of Ireland thick not of reli gious distinctions or prejudices. Men who never before took a part in politics now feel it a duty toloin the patriotic ranks. One spirit animates all, and that is the spirit of peace, conciliation, harmony, and freedom. I have the honour to be, men of Kilkenny, Your faithful, devoted, and grateful servant, DANIEL O'CONNELL. In the substance of this address I cannot state that I as cordially concur as I did in his address last year. ,I rather feel with him, as was then eloquently ands clearly stated by him, that whatever defects may exist in the state of corpo rations at the present day, I would deprecate subversion in the shape of reformation. I would wish merely such changes, as he then stated, should be adopted, as the altered circumstances of the State might require. I would wish that the substance and the essential usefulness of that ancient institution should be preserved. And I think any one who marks the progress of opinions in this day, must see, that if an adaptation of the i n stitutions to the altered circumstances of the times were o nce admitted to be desirable, it must rather be procured by the extension, than by the extinction of popular privileges . It is a curious fact, and, perhaps, at this moment , most interesting to re mark, that in all ages the peculiar tendency of public civic institutions has been considered to amalgamate and blend together the previously discordant elements of civil society. The Right Honourable and Learned Gentleman has alluded to the state of modern Europe in the different ages which elapsed since the resusci tation of civilization in that part of the world, but I would take this subject up from an earlier period, and we shall find in the various ages of ancient history, that the original in stitution of civic corporations was placed by the great ci viliser of that infant community, which afterwards became the " Mistress of the World," upon the special ground, that it would be the means, in the mutual discharge of duty, and the identification of mutual benefit, of doing away with all those practical causes of reciprocal alienation. These were not the days when, he must allow me to say, such painful distinctions as between native Irish and English were said to exist ; but when the infant community was at this very moment engaged in its primitive attempt at amalga mating all classes together, the effects of the wisdom of Numa Pompilius were found in centuries of combined patrio tism, upon the part of the Roman citizens, who had previ ously been composed of the most heterogeneous materials. The Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman then went on to state what was the effect of the institution of Corporations in modern Europe, and in the view which he took of that part of the subject, I must thoroughly concur. It is per fectly true that the barons and " great ones" of the land, at that time, were either entrenched behind barriers of stone, or cased in steel to desolate and destroy, but in the then humble materials for corpdrate government of the middle ages, the first germ of civilization was fostered and che rished. With the natural tendency to self-destruction of all savage natures, empires were overthrown—titles became extinct—estates were forfeited, but still under peaceable and progressive civilization, these simple communities con• tinued and prospered. And it is to be remarked by any man who has attentively perused the chronicles of the time, with what fidelity they endeavour to steer clear of any of those points of quarrel, which led ultimately to the destruc• tion of the feudal system. Amongst these communities there was little inclination to involve themselves in the ge nealogical mazes of disputed succession—as little were they distracted in one of the most eventful periods of English history by the contrasted colours of the rival roses. There, in those institutions, independence was first understood— intelligence was first diffused—confidence between man and man was first established. There arose the aristocracy of industry ; civic honours won by merit were there con ferred by the people and confirmed by the crown, and popu lar power rested upon its best and most solid foundation— commercial prosperity. Such being the state of municipal institutions at that time, I beg to call your attention to this circumstance, that in their origin all these institutions were of a popular character. The qualification attached to en trance into them, was not meant as a capricious exclusion, but is of most general and complete comprehension. It was intended to include all who were even collaterally con nected with the interest which the body represented, and if the precautions then taken have not Leen found peculiarly adapted to the present times, it is not from any original in tention of exclusion, or of defect in the original construc tion of the institution, but it has arisen from the prosperous, aid somewhat disproportionate increase of communities to which those institutions were attached. This has induced the united Parliament to attach qualifications of residence and of real property to the attainment of municipal digni ties in the English corporations. The Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman, in the course of his address, seems to he afraid that the result of the application of a similar principle here would be that we would go from one ex treme to the other. I can assure him that if such would be the result, no one would more deprecate it than myself ; but my idea is, that what is meant by placing institutions under vigilant popular controul, is, that the popular im munities should extend to the inclusion of every body directly interested in the management of its affairs, and that its vigilance should extend to the free and independent ex ercise of its voices, in the election of the superior officers of the body. The Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman has made use of a figure from domestic life, lie will therefore excuse me if I borrow one from the natural world. The torrent which it has been in vain attempted to restrain and exclude from its natural channel, may, in its first rush, somewhat trouble the surface of the more slow and silent stream, which alone has been allowed to glide within its bounds—but the ferment of that meeting is but of a mo ment's duration. Soon the commingling waters will flow on in a steady course, fertilizing the land with redoubled power, and in undistinguishable union. You will have an ticipated, from the tone in which I have addressed you, that it is my hope that when your (Alderman Hodges) year of service shall have expired (and you shall leave, I doubt not, as meritorious an example as your predecessor), that by whatever means, or by whatever body elected, a successor may be found to profit by it ; that whatever changes the altered circumstances of the time may be thought to require in the change of the elective body by whose suffrages you are brought before me, that still it will be recollected that in all periods, in Pagan days as in Christian times, the natural tendency of corporate institutions has been found to obli terate invidious distinctions and speculative differences, and to unite all men, as they ought to be, in the common in terest and practical concerns of everyday life. I trust, my Lord, as I have stated, that whenever your day of service shall have expired, that your successor, be he whom he may, when presented before me, to discharge the important func tions of your office (which I cannot but think inseparable from the management and control of such a civic com munity as that in which I now stand), shall enter upon his office with the same testimonials of competency as you now do—and I do think that after six hundred an niversaries of the ancient ceremony of inauguration have passed, as the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman has stated, we may anticipate that it will not be the last ; but, when a union between the two countries has been established upon the solid basis of a community of in terests, I may hope that Ireland will never be found (what alone I think would tend to make her, in the words of the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman, a bye-word and a reproach to the nations of the earth) in these enlightened days—the only country of the world which was unfit for any species of self-government. No ; I trust, as the representative of that Sovereign, who thus addressed his assembled Parliament, that it will be in the power of the legislative branches of the Constitution to apply to the difficulties and evils which may have been shown to exist in the corporate institutions of Ire land, remedies founded upon the same principles as those extended to the muncipalities of England and Scot land. I trust, in the words which the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman expressed last year, that subversion may not be found in place Of reformation ; I trust that in the same spirit in which I addressed him previously, I shall be understood now to address him, feeling as I do that the very essence, vitality, and soul, of the connexion between the two countries, is a free and full distribution of equal laws and immunities ; and, upon behalf of the second civi c comm unity of the united empire, and the capital of thi s fi ne i s l an d, I will say that I trust whilst its loyalty is onimpeached, its patriotism proverbial, its population increasing, an d i ts com merce prosperous, that Dublin will never cease to be a city. I now take leave of you, assuring you personally that upon all occasions upon which you may think it necessary to con sult with me, you will always receive from me every per sonal attention and respect which I feel to be due to th e existing authority. (At the conclusion of his Excellency' s address, the crowd which filled the Audienc . e Chamber, for getting the place where they were, and actuated by the impulse of the moment, burst into a simultaneous cheer.). GENERAL Assoctanosr.—The Association met on Thursday, in the Corn Exchange-rooms. Laurence Finn, Esq., in the chair. The Secretary, Mr. French, submitted a mass of correspondence co-operative with the important Objects sought by the Justice Associations. Some animated discussion succeeded, in which Mr. Dillon Browne, M.P., Mr. Lawless, and others took part. The Secretary then announced that the Justice rent for the week amounted , to -W. 45., after which the meeting separated. IRELAND. DUBLIN, OCT. 1. THE VICEROY'S SPEECH: LORD MAYOR'S DAY. Yesterday was a memorable day. The last of the Mo hicans, Alderman Hodges, went up in an old coach, newly painted, attended by the new Sheriffs, in old Shandradans, together with half a dozen Aldermen, to the Castle, for the purpose.of being sworn into office. Having been introduced into the Presence Chamber, the Recorder, the Right Hon. Fred, made a speech all about the loyalty of the Protestant Corporation—hinting that, in time to come, a period might arise when immunities might be extended to the Papists ; but implying they had not, at present, intelligence enough to exercise Corporate func tions. This Learned (?) person made this round-about declaration (for there was a great deal of phrasing and in ference, and very little directly in the oration), in the pre sence of the most ignorant and stupid of mankind—the Cor porators assembled. Mr. Justice Perrin then made a speech as to the duties of the Lord Mayor—an excellent and sound discourse, as might, iudeed, be expected from that honest and liberal Judge. In the course of his speech, he took occasion to advert to the crowded state of the gaols, and impressed upon the Lord Mayor the mercy, the justice, and the urgent necessity of a more frequent gaol de livery. How the Recorder felt when this admonition was given, we shall not pretend to say. But that Functionnry has undertaken the performance of incompatible duties. He cannot be trying prisoners in Green-street and spouting Toryism in Westminster at the same time. He cannot be like Sir Boyle Roach's bird—in two places at once. They call him the leaden Mercury—but if he were the real God lie could not accomplish his double business to the satisfac tion of his Constituents in the College, or the Bailiwick in the eity.—Dublin Evening Post. The Lord-Lieutenant then, in reference to the occasion, and with a view to the discourses which he heard, de livered one of the most impressive, as well as the most re markable, speeches ever heard from a viceroy in Dublin castle. His EXCELLENCY said—My Lord Mayor, after the ela borate charge just given by the Learned Judge with respect to the various duties upon which you are now entering, I cannot better commence the observations which this occasion seems to suggest, or more clearly show the spirit in which I am prepared to receive your future exertions, than by at once stating, most sincerely, the sincere respect and regard to your predecessor, with which I now close my official con nexion with him. It is perfectly true, as has been stated by your Learned Recorder, that he has not disappointed our expectations. It is peculiar to our mixed Constitution—it is a peculiarity in it which, in this instance, I feel to be ad vantageous, that persons, in the discharge of their public duties, are sometimes brought into contact with merito rious individuals, who, previously, from their distant loca lity and different lines of life, may have been separated, and it is now upon the close of the first year of my dis charge of the high functions with which his Majesty has invested me, a matter of sincere satisfaction that the discharge of those duties has made me intimately acquainted with the genuine benevolence, the sterling sense, and straightforward honesty of purpose which have distinguished the charac ter, and marked the mayoralty of Mr. Alderman Morris son. You are now retiring into comparatively a private station, but be assured that both whilst I continue in the high office which I at present hold, as also at any future period of my life, I shall always retain a lively sense of that f ee ;',:ng of respect and regard to you which the faithful dis charge of your duties has excited in my mind. lam also happy to take this opportunity —seeing before m e your official coaciutors during your year of office, to express my sense of the z: al and alacrity with which they have dis charged their respective functions. In the course of this year I have visited with them several institutions, and som e of the places of confinement. The same remark which the Learned Judge made, struck myself, that the prisons are too crowded. There 'are different modes by which this matter may be remedied. One remedy has been i sug gested by the Learned Judge ; the improvement n lo talities is another. That I believe is already in contem plas'ion ; but, by whatever means that evil may be re moved; I am sure that during your year of office any disadvani,:yes which may have arisen from it have been considerably diminished by your active superintendence. The civic charter gives to the legal adviser of your body a criminal jurisdiction ; and I am also happy to take this o pportunity, in the presence of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Recorder, to express my sense of' the valuable assist , ance I have always received from him, for the clear, elabo rate, and faithful reports of those cases which, in the exer cise of the delegated prerogative of mercy, I have referred to him, as an assistant t6PY judgment. He has stated that the revolving year, which has ;:rought us to a return of the anniversary of the inauguration of !he Lord Mayor, has been pregnant with many topics which press them selves upon my consideration at this moment. Some of them are of a nature upon which it would not befit me, strongly, or at length, to dwell. The Right Honoura ble and Learned Gentleman's address to me last year, was one, the impression of which upon my mind was considerable. I have to express the same feeling and satisfaction at the tone and temper with which he has now addt{essed me, as the representative of his Sovereign. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1836. no hate so effective as that which is excited by a good cause. Therefore we thank the noted Tommy for one more out rageous freak. It is this Tommy, among other slices of the leviathan, who is parson and rector of St. Michael and St. John's parish. What does he do ? Why trump up a de mand for Minister's money against the Rev. A. O'Connell of 281. 18s, 10d, for an arrear of 16 years ! Go on, Tommy —we shall actually begin to envy you your powers of agitation.

Sul—Having seen in the Morning Register of this day a statement of a charge made " for ministers' money, for the chapel of St. John's parish, to the amount of 161. 12s. 6d.," I have only to say, if such a charge was made, it was totally unauthorised by your obedient servant, THOMAS PERCEVAL MAGEE. P. S.—l have, since writing the above, seen the Rev. Mr. O'Connell, who informed me that the charge was made by - the collector. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. PARIS, SEPT. 30.—1 t is said that the policy of the Ministry of the 6th September with regard to the affairs of Spain is disapproved of by the Cabinet of St. James's. On the other hand, our Government is not much pleased with the project which England appears to have conceived of establishing itself at St. Sebastian and Passages. Gene ral Sebastiani has in consequence received an invitation to return to his post as soon as possible. It is said that he has fixed the time of his departure between the 10th and 15th October. PARIS, OCT. I.—Two superior officers of the staff ar rived yesterday at the War-Office, having come post from the frontiers of Spain. They immediately proceeded to Compeigne, where they found the Minister. M. Mole ar rived at Paris yesterday evening. Ho is slightly indisposed. A journal says we have received a letter from Rome, of the 16th ult., which announces the arrival of M. Thiers in that city on the day before. His first visit was to M. Ingres, Director of the Academy of France, with whom he intends to visit the monuments of Rome. He says himself that he means to see Rome only like an artist and man of letters. .........._.

BOURSE, QUARTER TO FOUR.--The settling-day is going on slowly ; it seems that a great deal of stock is as yet to be made up, which occasions a continual fluctuation in the Three per Cents. ; they have been at Tortoni's 78f. 40c. to make up, and 78f. 65c. to 701. for the end of this month; at the open ing of the Parquet, they however declined to 78f. 30c. to 25c. in liquidation, but have since recovered briskly to 781. 55c. for the ending account, and 78f. 80c. for the end of October. The Spanish Active Stock opened at 271, but receded to 20 buyers. It was expected that the confirmation of the de feat of Gomez would have had a stronger effect on that secu rity.

The bank is supposed to have been induced to contemplate these measures by what has passed in other great commercial states, and that its object, like that of the bank of England, is to put a wholesome check on excessive speculations. It cannot indeed be dis sembled that such a measure must have a tendency to de press our funds ; but this is preferable to the evil conse quences that must ensue from excessive speculations.

" Third division of the Army of the Operations of the North. Since the departure of the rebels from Utiel the following has been the course pursued by them and by this division : . _ " Sept. 15th.—The division in Carboneras ; the rebels from Utiel marched by the Venta (an isolated inn by the road-side) to Casas de Ibanez. " 16th.—The division in Carboneras ; the rebels pro ceed to Albacete. _ _ " 176.—The division from CarbOneras march to Cam pillo de Altobuez ; the rebels remain in Albacete. " 1801.—The division cross over to Taragona ; the re bels to Roda. " 19th.—As the chieftain Gomez indicated two different points in which he designed to pass the night, I proposed in the afternoon of the morrow to give him battle at St. Clemente, if he should take that direction ; if not I pro posed coming up with him before he left Villarobledo. The march of this day was very painful and fatiguing for the troops. The rebels from Rods, passing by Minaya, lay for the night in Villarobledo. "20th.—In order to cover the object of my movement of the preceding day, I continued the march during the greater part of the night, so that before day-break I had already in position a brigade and some cavalry within half musket-shot of Villarobledo, in which were the chieftains Gomez, Ca brera, Serrador, Quilez, and other beings who hold com mands amongst the rebels ; amounting, according to his own estimation, to 11 battalions and 10 squadrons. lat once made my dispositions to possess myself of the town, which was effected at little cost, the enemy having hastily abandoned it by the other side. Relying upon his 800 horse, he began organizing his columns, which were attacked by those of my gallant and suffering division as it were by assault. Twice were the rebel cavalry drawn up to bear down upon my guerillas ; but it was restrained by that ever bold and distinguished, the Colonel of the Hussars of de la Prin cesa, Don Diego de Leon. Twice did this able and valiant officer, dividing his forces, engage two squadrons of the op posing cavalry, strongly supported by guerillas ; and when the enemy prided himself upon a secure victory, Co lonel Leon, watching his opportunity, rushed impetuously upon his ranks, encountered hand to hand the cavalry ad vancing to the charge, overthrew them, and, following up his advantage, drove them in disorder upon the infantry. In a moment the whole were in confusion, horse and foot mingled together, and my columns of infantry coming up at a charge, took 1,274 prisoners, including 55 officers, more than 2,000 muskets, scattered on the field, also falling into our hands, munitions, mules, a great part of the baggage, some artillerymen taken with the pieces of ordnance at Matillas; an infinity of prisoners and new recruits, to whom permission has been given to return to their homes, and some printing materials. " This victory, obtained at a trifling loss, is of great im portance, seeing that the rebel leaders considered themselves secure in this part of the country, and that no column was able to attempt anything against them. " If 150 hussars, with 60 horse of the Ist and sth light cavalry, have been able to engage and reduce to a nullity 800, it is but just to acknowledge, conceding at the same time all due merit to the valour of the troops, that this day of glory and honour is due to the conduct of Colonel Leon. I congratulate my country upon the possession of a chief of such high promise, one who, should he be advanced to the highest military rank, will, I foresee, render to the nation services of the utmost importance. I could not do less than call him to the front of the whole division, and give him publicly my thanks : happy should I have been could I upon the field have recompensed him, in the name of our august Queen, with the next step in promotion, to which I consider him entitled, rewarding at the same time all the distin guished chiefs and officers of the corps, and of all the other corps of the division, which all behaved with their accus tomed gallantry.

DOVER-SATURDAY We have had a very hard gale of wind at south-west, and a heavier sea running off the harbour than has been seen for a long time. A very fine Pilot Lugger, belonging to Dover, called the Duncan, in endeavouring to make the harbour about noon, shipped a sea, and as it appeared, became water logged, for a second sea broke into her, carried away her foremast, and upset her, by which sad accident the whole of her crew were drowned. She had four boatmen on board, two brothers of the name of Ford, a man of the name of Dixon, and another named Bussard. Dixon was got on shore very soon, and Bussard's body was rescued from the sea shortly after ; but although every means were used to restore them, it was found impracticable. The bodies of the two Fords, who were fine young men, have not yet been . recovered. This catastrophe has caused a great sensation , having happened close to the pier, and in the sight of a great number of people. FUNERAL OF MADAME MALIBRAN. MANCHESTER, SATURDAY. — The remains of the late and much-lamented Madame Malibran were interred on Saturday, in the Collegiate Church, at Manchester. It has been al ready stated that De Beriot, when he made his sudden de parture from Manchester, left written instructions with Mr. Beale, of St. Anne's-square, to attend to the funeral, and in compliance with those instructions, Mr. Beale made the ne cessary arrangements, and the funeral was appointed to take place on Saturday. On Friday evening, however, a letter was received by Mr. Willert, Mr. Beak's son-in-law, desiring that the body should not be buried at Manchester, and stating that it was the wish of Madame Malibran's friends that it should be removed to the Continent. The letter purported to have been written by Madame Malibran's sister at Brussels, and was forwarded to Mr. Willert through Dr. Bellomini. The letter, we are told, requested that the gentleman to whom it was addressed would use every means in his power to remove any unfavourable impression that may have been made on the public mind, in consequence of De Be riot's abrupt departure from Manchester, and adds, that the dissatisfaction which may have been entertained on that account is attributable to Doctor Bellomini alone, who seeing the distracted state of De Beriot's mind, earnestly urged him to leave the town. Whether mental distraction drove him from the town, or other considerations attracted him, we know not ; but we must say that the feeling which the gentleman's extraordinary proceedings have created at Manchester, is by no means flattering to him. It has been stated Malibran became the purchaser of an estate near Brus sels some time ago (where a child of her's now lives), and that under the apprehension that her former husband, M Malibran, might, if the news of the lady's death reached him, post over to Belgium and claim the property before him, M. De Beriot hastened with all dispatch to this estate. This story is in some sort confirmed by a letter which Mrs. Richardson has received from Bellomini. In it the gentleman states that De Beriot's health was so deranged as to render it desirable that he should proceed forthwith to his child and family at Brussels, and ac cordingly be had left London by the Antwerp steamer, which sailed on the morning of his arrival in the metropolis. It is rather curious that Bellomini should have thought it indispen sable to drag away his friend at two of the morning, and not less strange is the accident of his happening to reach London in time for the departure of the very next Belgian packet. The report of the Committee, which embraces a great deal of ma terial information, is to the following effect : "REPORT OF THE FESTIVAL COMMITTEE. _ _ _ " In consequence of the melancholy decease of Madame Malibran de Beriot, a general meeting of the Committee for conducting the late Festival was convened on Monday last. The Boroughreeve in the Chair. " The meeting was most numerously attended. The deepest sympathy was evinced on the occasion, and one unanimous opinion expressed that the musical world had by her death, been deprived of its greatest ornament and pride. " Mr. Beale having stated to the Committee that the duty of superintending and conducting the funeral had been com mitted to him by Monsieur de Beriot, it was the universal feeling of the meeting that the responsibility should be shared by the whole Committee, and that the funeral should be conducted in such a manner as, while it avoided all unne cessary parade arid ostentation, might bespeak the general sympathy and regret which were felt for the untimely fate of the departed. " A sub-Committee was appointed for the purpose of mak ing arrangements for the funeral, and the Warden and Fellows very liberally offered a resting-place for her remains in the Collegiate Church. " The Committee, participating in the interest which must be felt respecting the close of the life of one so eminent in her profession, connected also as it is with the late festival, which, in every circumstance attending it, with this one most sad ex ception, was prosperous and gratifying, felt that they should be discharging their duty by giving to the world an authentic narrative of the facts which occurred during Madame Malibran de Beriot's attendance at the Festival. For this purpose the evidence of those most intimately connected with the proceed. ings has been carefully collected, and the following statement is the result of such inquiry. " A bulletin, under the hands of Dr, Bardsley and Mr. Worthington, was issued by the Committee, stating her ina bility to appear at the concert of Thursday evening. " With this ceased almost every hope of hearing her again at this festival, but the attention of the Committee and of the medical attendants did not cease. 4‘ The rumour of Madame Malibran de Beriot's illness brought over two gentlemen from Dublin to ascertain whether she would be able to keep her engagements there. This in telligence occasioned in her the greatest excitement ; but Dr. Bardsley took upon himself to say to them that such an at tempt must not be made, as it would endanger her life, and a certificate to that effect was signed by Dr. Bardsley and Mr. Worthington, as well as by Dr. Hull, who was consulted on that occasion. " After this time she became more tranquil. On Saturday night Mr. Worthington slept at the Mosley Arms, at Madame Malibran de Beriot's request, and early the next morning he was called to visit her. She became better ; and the conse quences that Dr. Bardsley and Mr. Worthington at first ap prehended were no longer feared, and it was hoped on Sunday morning, when these two gentlemen last saw her, that, by long quiet and perfect repose, she might after some titre be restored to health. " On Sunday Dr. Bellomini, who had long had the con fidence of Madame Malibran de Beriot, and had been ex pressly sent for, arrived, when Dr. Bardsley and Mr. Wor thington were informed that their services would be no longer required. " From that period it was hoped that all was going on well, until Friday morning, the 23d instant. " On that day Mr. Willett, Mr. Beale, and Mr. Joseph Swart, who are all members of the Committee, learned that she was in imminent danger. About ten o'clock on that night Mr. Beale was sent for, and requested by M. de Beriot to superintend the funeral of the unfortunate lady, who was then expected every moment to breathe her last. Mr. Beale re quested that some one might be joined with him in that trust, and suggested Mr. Willert,- and that he might have written in structions on the subject, to which suggestions M. de Beriot gratefully assented. A paper, signed by M. de Beriot was, r after the death of this lady, given to Mr. Beale, authorising him to superintend the funeral. " Between 11 and 12 o'clock the same night, Mr. Joseph Ewart called at the Mosley Arms, where Madame Malibran de Beriot was staying, with an offer of his house as an asylum for Monsieur de Beriot in the event of his bereavement. This offer was communicated by Mrs. Richardson, of the Mosley Arms (who throughout this melancholy history has behaved with the utmost attention and feeling), to Monsieur de Beriot, who was highly gratified by it and inclined to accept of it. His medical friend, however, Dr. Bellomini, most strongly re sisted it, saying, that his life would be endangered if he re mained in the town. Mr. Ewart was a witness to the last sad scene of Madame Malibran de Beriot's sufferings, about 20 minutes before 12 ; and some time after he saw Dr. Bellomini depart in a coach and pair, taking with him Monsieur de Beriot, who appeared in a state of extreme distress. " The Committee think it right to notice a rumour that has been spread in some quarters, that the death of Madame Mali bran de Beriot was occasioned by improper treatment, and to state that no information or evidence was given to them that could lead to such a conclusion. The Committee disclaim the notion of being considered as a judicial court of inquiry; but if, in their investigations, they had been convinced that there was ground for such a charge, they should have thought it their duty to have bad that charge legally inquired into. It appears, indeed, that Dr. Bardsley and Mr. Worthington, before they took their final leave on Sunday, the 18th of September, com municated to Dr. Bellomini the manner in which they had treated their patient, and that Dr. Bellomini intimated to them that his system (of homceopathics) being totally opposed to theirs, he could not derive any benefit from a consultation with them ; and that Madame Malibran de Beriot herself had full confidence in his mode of treatment. On the merits o this system the Committee do not give any opinion ; but it i important to state that no information has been given to show to what extent it has been adopted in the present instance; and in the judgment of Mr. Lewis ' who has made his state ment to the Committee, the death of the deceased was the result of a nervous fever, under circumstances perfectly natu ral, and without the slightest ground of suspicion. The Com mittee also think themselves bound to state, that from the tes timony of Mrs. Richardson, as well as of Mr. Lewis, the con duct of Dr. Bellomini was attentive and careful as that of the most zealous physician, and kind and affectionate as that of an intimate and long attached friend. " The Committee, in closing this narrative, whilst they bear testimony to the uncommon talents of the deceased lady, and to her most ardent wishes to have exerted them to the very utmost for the benefit of the festival, think they shall receive the acknowledgment of the public for never having in one instance unduly pressed her to perform the part assigned to her, believing that when there was the ready will, and even beyond her power, the public would agree with them, that it was their duty rather to spare than to urge her on. They have thought it due both to the public and to themselves, to put forth to the world this plain statement of facts, in order to correct any erroneous reports which may obtain currency on a question so interesting to the community; and to show that every step has been taken by the Committee which admira tion of her talents and commisseration for the misfortune of Madame Malibran de Beriot could dictate. " On behalf of the Committee, "JOHN MACVICAR, Chairman." The following details respecting the funeral are contained in another letter : " The Catholic funeral service will be performed over the remains of the deceased at her rooms, on Saturday morning, at nine o'clock, where most of the committee and gentlemen who are interested in the arrangements of the funeral, will be present, as a mark of respect and attention. At ten o'clock the funeral procession will move to the old church, where the body will be interred in that part of the choir belonging to the _ warden and fellows of the Collegiate Church. The regale' English service will then be performed, as well as a dirge.' and an anthem ; and while the organ is playing " The DeatLe March in Saul" the coffin will be carried to the c hoir, to 1?,, placed in its last resting-place, and the attending gu ests 01" afterwards return home. The funeral is arranged to be mest respectable, but without show or ostentation, and will be in Lhe following order : The Deputy Constable, and some men to clear the way. Mutes, &c. The Hearse, drawn by four horses. First mourning coach, containing the Boroughreeve, Sir G. Smart, Mr. Beale, and Mr. Willcott. Second ditto, Mr. Brandt, Chairman of the Musical Com mittee ; Mr. Shore, Mr. Ewart, and Mr. Bunn. Third ditto, Mr. D. Bellhouse, jun., Mr. E. Wright, Mr. Shuttleworth, Mr. G. Withington, Secretary. These being the chief mourners. Fourth ditto, Mr. R. C. Sharp, Mr. G. Peel , M r. F. 13- Hodgson (the three Churchwardens) ; Mr. S. Phillips. Fifth ditto, Mr. J. B. Wanklvn ; Mr. Jos. Peel, Deputy Chairman ; Mr. Patten, and Mr. D. Broadhurst. These eight being the Paul -bearers. " After these will follow all the gentlemen's carriages! the Committee—Lord Wilton's, Mr. Mark Philips's, M. r Mr. Egerton's, and several others of the patrons , e x p ected d to be about fifty to sixty carriages ; and it is also antic i p ated that many will follow on foot. " The procession will go from the Mosley Arms Inn, down Market-street, St. Mary's-gate, over Blackfriar's-bridge' Greengate, Iron-bridge, and to the door at Hunt's-bank. " The sub-committee appointed for the purpose have eig° drawn up a correct and authentic report of everyth in g o°ll, fleeted with Madame Malibran, from her arrival to the women' of her decease, for the satisfaction of the public." We quote the following paragraph from the Moniteur -Beige received last night : " We learn that a funeral service will be celebrated on Se' urday morning in the church of Lecken, in memory of iVis,l dame de Beriot Malibran. All the admirers of her talent vii" doubless attend this ceremony. Madame de Beriot will be interred at Laeken, where her husband intends to erect a In();. nument to her. M. de Beriot is very ill in conseque nce l his affliction at the loss he has just sustained. As soon as te is recovered he will go to England to fetch the remains of lug affectionate wife." The Mercure (a Brussels paper) states that a subscription is about to be set on foot for raising a monument to Madan° Malibran. It Lr WORCESTER FESTIVAL. FRIDAY MORNING.—The third and last concert at the Co' lege Hall (which was miscellaneous) took place last nig . t Blagrove played Malique's concerto, the one porform ee 17 1 him at the Philharmonic Society, and at the Norwich Fe stiva last week. His reception here was very enthusiastic. An ; the other instrumental solo was one of extreme interest, being debut of Mr. Lindley, the son of the veteran violoncello per former. He is a resident in this town, and is a great foe° a among the amateurs. In respect to execution, we never hear his equal—it is quite electrifying; and won the unbounded [01• miration of the members of the band, who joined heartily i ; the storm of feeling which followed his amazing exertions. e fantasia which he played is one arranged by himself, with on of Romberg's ntotivi. Such was the excitement of this high gifted young player, that he was' seized with hysterics aft leaving the orchestra. We predict a brilliant career for ' l ss should he visit the metropolis. Caradori was called upon before the National Anthem was sung, to give " Jock dean," although iit was not marked in the programme. Clara Novello Novello was encored in a Swiss song, which the mented Malibran used to sing, and, in imitation of that unli t ; valled singer, gave another air on being encored. The b a " was but moderately attended. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE• On Saturday night The Sch oo l for Scandal was perfollniea at this theatre. Mr. W. Far ren was th e Si r P e t e r Tea',.. e.

The dashing, youthful frivolity aj high fashionable life seems at pres.nt beyond her reac h, e 'ic, she continued very nearly as much a country girl in 4 1g manner, and action—in everything save dress—after becooll„a Lady Teazle, as while she was occupi e d w ith the butter poultry at home. She has n o t th e phy s i ca l requ i s ites for tr tb character. Mr. C.
